Larmandier-Bernier's NV Extra Brut Rose de Saignee is one of the most profound wines I encountered in my tastings. The color resembles the tonality of blood orange juice. This is a powerful wine that flows onto the palate with an expression of bright red fruit that recalls the wines of Chambolle in its luxuriousness, but is backed up with serious structure. This compelling, totally seductive wine possesses awesome richness and vibrancy, with layers of aromas and flavors that continue to develop in the glass all the way through to the long, intensely satisfying finish. The wine could be served alongside any dish that might be served with grand cru Burgundy, but like all of the world's great wines, this is a bottle that creates its own occasion. Larmandier-Bernier completely redefines what Rose can be all about with this monumental effort. The estate's rose is 100% Pinot Noir from Vertus vinified on the skins (saignee) and bottled with 3 grams of dosage.

The NV (2009) Extra Brut Rose de Saignee is surprisingly tight and shut down for the year, considering so many wines are open and radiant. Over time, the wine's personality and depth begin to emerge, but I imagine the 2009 will be even better in another 6-12 months. Crushed flowers, red berries and sweet spices are layered into the vibrant, focused finish. It will be interesting to see where the 2009 goes over the next year or so. The 2009 is 100% Pinot Noir from Vertus made with a 2 day saignee on the skin, aged in steel an bottled with 3 grams of dosage. Disgorged March 2012. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2017.

A deeply hued rosé, dry and spicy, with a subtle weave of black cherry, currant, biscuit and grapefruit zest flavors, backed by firm, integrated acidity and a smoky mineral thread that lingers on the finish. Drink now through 2016. 900 cases made.

As it indicates, this is a rosé made from the natural color of the skins rather than blending in red wine. It's rich, as much a wine as a Champagne, with even a touch of tannin. Dry, with plenty of acidity to finish.
